A Canadian search warrant was recently made public, which shows troubling allegations of repeated child abuse in the ultra-Orthodox sect Lev Tahor.

We are glad that officials in Israel, Canada and Interpol have worked together to establish a criminal case against this sect and are hopefully able to bring the perpetrators to justice. The investigation began when Rabbi Shlomo Helbrans’ son left the group and reported to officials about widespread abuses within the group.

We are grateful to the brave victims who found the courage to speak up. We hope more victims, witnesses and whistleblowers find the courage to come forward, speak up, help protect children and start healing.
